`RE: Touchstream v. Google | Case No. 6:21-CV-569 | Hague Motion
`
`Dear Ms. Jahnke:
`
`
`On October 12, Google filed a motion for issuance of letter of request for international judicial assistance for the
`purpose of undertaking the deposition of a witness located in Switzerland in accordance with Swiss law. Touchstream
`did not file a response. In view of the schedule Google therefore wishes to notify the Court that the motion is ripe for a
`decision. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.
`
`
`Best regards,
`Edwin

`
`Michael:
`
`
`As you know, Touchstream originally agreed to proceed under the Hague convention and then changed its position,
`necessitating Google’s motion. As you also know, after insisting on disputed motion practice, Touchstream then did not
`file a response to Google’s motion. Touchstream therefore has waived any opposition. To avoid further delay, Google
`will notify the Court that the motion is ready to be decided. Per your request, we will include this thread in our email to
`the Court.
`
`
`Regards,
`Edwin

`
`** External mail **
`
`Edwin,
`
`As you know from the extensive discussions between the parties, Touchstream does not agree and does object to any
`deposition under Hague Convention rules for all the reasons we previously stated. Google’s motion is extremely
`unclear. Mr. Levai was a 30(b)(6) topic designee by Google in response to Touchstream’s 30(b)(6) notice. Is Google now
`seeking to depose its own employee? If so, please tell us under what authority Google will depose its own employee,
`since this does not appear to be a deposition that will take place under Touchstream’s 30(b)(6) notice. Please provide
`this information before contacting the court so that we can consider an appropriate response. If Google will not provide
`such information prior to contacting the Court, Google should include this email from Touchstream with any
`correspondence with the Court.
`
`Thanks,
`Michael
